I am hoping the Owner finds this review. ATTN: If you are diagnosed with celiac disease or are sensitive with food allergies - avoid this restaurant. The kitchen staff is sloppy and careless. In all fairness, I am not sure what this restaurant is like when you dine-in. Once or twice per month, I order grilled shrimp tacos to-go when I’m on my home from north academy. One time, a piece of a plastic glove was underneath one of the tacos. The manager asked me to text her a picture of it. I was worried it was a condom, but she assured me it was a glove because it looked exactly like their brand of kitchen gloves. She refunded me and promised it wouldn’t happen again. Thankfully, it didn’t. I continued getting to-go orders with no issues. However, today, I ordered the same shrimp tacos with a side cup of queso. The queso looked normal, it always comes topped with jalapeños. I seen a chunk of something but figured it was a piece of jalapeno. As I kept eating, I realized it was not jalapeños, but instead, beef (or something else, no one knows). I’m not totally sure what it is, but it looks like uncooked beef. Immediately, I called the restaurant to inform them. I wanted to know if it was chorizo or beef, or something else, and if I should prepare to get sick because I did eat part the queso surrounding it. This is when they informed me that I did “not pay enough” for my to-go order. Baro, the bartender, told me the order was $22.09. I gave him $23.00. He said, “I will be right back with your change.” I replied, “no change, thank you!” When I spoke with management, Kiera, I was told I didn’t pay him enough. I’m like, what? Why would he tell me $22.09 then tell me that he’s going to get change? They recently changed their menu and no longer serve black beans or white rice (which I always ordered) so I didn’t know if the price changed. I didn’t even think to question it since he accepted my money, then offered to get change - the remaining 91 cents. It was beyond inappropriate and insulting considering I am sitting here in a state of panic over uncooked meat in my queso. The same state of panic I was in when I found a piece of plastic glove under my taco. Not to mention, I have stage one CKD and try to avoid meat. Avoid this restaurant if you have food allergies or are celiac because I can’t imagine any requests taken seriously in the kitchen. Management needs to take a course on customer service. UCCS is nearby, perhaps the Owner can pay for their class.

Overall, it was an ok experience. Service was pretty slow on Sunday and they weren’t that busy. Everything from drinks, appetizers to food was slow. Their menus prices are not accurate. Seems to be normal now, but a gluten free pizza was $27. Seems excessive. My wife had the California chicken sandwich and it appears they must get their chicken precooked (sous vide would be my guess) then heat it up some way. At least it tasted like it. For the price they should have a higher standard of service and food.

Third Space is one of my new favorite coffee shops in the Springs! They’re one of the few coffee shops that still has cozy seating so that you can curl up in a chair or on the couch and work for a while or chat with a friend. They also have gluten-free options, great bathrooms and friendly staff. I love coming back here.

Best Gluten-free pizza ever! I have lots of dietary restrictions and not only was the staff super helpful and understanding, they did a perfect job on the pizza. It’s fluffy and soft, not crispy and flaked like most gluten free pizza. And the price wasn’t unreasonable!

We stopped here to celebrate my son graduating and they were very short staffed that day. Our waitress was AMAZING. She was doing it all with one bartender and one other waitress (downstairs). The manager was bussing tables and I was really impressed with how well they were holding it together. The food was delicious, great prices, gluten-free options and the best service. We had a cool spot at the window upstairs that the kids loved.

The food was excellent and portions plentiful - with a full variety from gluten free to dinners plates. The waitstaff was very attentive, friendly and fun - our whole party had an excellent time! The establishment was interesting with all the history around the building and restrooms were very clean.

All of my friends know how much I love Del Taco anywhere I go when I’m traveling through the southwest! They are great at accommodating me with corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas because of my gluten free needs since I’m allergic to wheat
